YSK: Removable drives/thumb drives are potentially dangerous in Windows 11

Jump

  • I just checked a freshly installed Windows 11 and the autoplay is off by default.

    So to follow up on the value of your question: People react loudly without checking what they react about. It's enough for them to get a few online upvotes in a world where they don't matter otherwise.

    • Are there any animes or TV shows you can't stop recommending?

    • Android makes me (almost) hate using a password manager – Google needs to fix it

  • I'd like to try that. How do you get to that settings?

  • Just finished watching this episode and reading this post. I would like to read the next one after watching the next episode. Is there an index somewhere making it easy to find all these posts? If not it would be worth it, because they add value to star trek and they also add value to Lemmy

    • How do decide what language you speak living on a countries border.

    Jump

  • If you take the time to learn the languages spoken in your area, you multiply the opportunities that will come your way, socially, professionally, romantically, etc.

    • At what point when learning a new language does someone become bilingual?

    Jump

  • One practical way to informally assess your bilingual level:

    You are bilingual when you have a friend who can only speak your second language.

    • What can be the reasons for self-sabotaging behaviours when it comes to relationships?

    Jump

  • You could look into "attachment style", and perhaps you are "avoidant" or something similar.

    Discussing this with a therapist, or advisor or life coach could probably help you zero in on what's going and what to do about it.

    • Loud and powerful sneezers, have you figured out a way to tame your sneezes?

    Jump

  • Are you saying you haven't taught this to everyone yet?

  • Sneeze into the fold of your elbow, instead of spraying around the room

    • Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" doesn't feel good and isn't satisfying?

  • I started to turn my hobby into a business 17 years ago. 5 years later it became my main occupation. I don't spend a lot of time on admin, maybe 15% top, because over the years, I made it a strategic game to streamline my processes, and I pay an accountant to help me with the taxes and other similar things.

    It's awesome to be paid to do what I love to do. How much time is too much when you do what you love? Just remember to balance your life after your business is stabilized, so that you have other hobbies on your time off. Also, make space for the important people in your life.

    Expect to work all the time in the first few years though, so plan accordingly, for example, if you wanna have a social life, weave your business into it. If you wanna take some time off to play a game, bring your partners into the game.

    Don't worry, after your business is stable, you will get actual time off.

    I suspect the "don't turn your hobby into a business" idea was originally dreamt up by some business owner who didn't want their employees to leave for a better life, and then we accepted it because it seems to make sense. It sure delayed me for years, before I decided to make the big jump.

    That being said, I hear restaurants have low profit margins especially in large urban areas, so if you go for it, make sure to keep your costs extra low.

    Spend time becoming extremely good at something you enjoy (and that your community needs) and you will find some people with disposable income will pay you to do it, because they want something good And they can afford it.

    • What is something you would like to see in a game?

    Jump

  • If anyone misses old school Quake 1 (first person shooter) in co-op mode, you can play it for free on this server, in your browser

    https://www.netquake.io/multiplayer

    Once you get used to the controls, the game turns out to be very well balanced.

    • What do you love about Lemmy, compared to Reddit?

    Jump

  • I was using my phone to access Reddit through an app called RIF. It stopped working.

    I can access Lemmy on my phone through an app called Boost. When I revisit a thread, it displays the new comments in a different color. Very very very convenient for active threads.

    • What's a cool publishing medium for text-based posts nowadays?

    Jump

  • Regarding the concerns you listed, it's the option that gives you the most control over content and access to it.

    All the others are a trade off in exchange for them promoting you.

    • What's a cool publishing medium for text-based posts nowadays?

    Jump

  • Modern equivalent to blogs would probably be vlogs (videos on tiktok or other platforms like that)

    Blogs are still a thing, check out WordPress.org

    Another option is publishing on a place like medium.com

    None of the above are optimal regarding your concerns about data collection, etc.

    To address that, you could just set up your own personal website, if you don't mind learning how to do it

    • What is the best way to collect and store links to sites I read once or twice a month?

    Jump

  • I bookmark them in a folder named "Monthly". Once a month, I right-click on that bookmark folder and open them all.

    I also have similar folders called "Daily" and "Weekly".

    I set a recurring reminder in my calendar to remember to open the weekly and monthly ones, so I don't have to keep track of whether I did or not.

    • Could an animal be taught how to throw accurately?

    Jump

  • I've read that humans are the only animals on the planet that can throw objects with a degree of accuracy.

    Were you reading some Mormon booklet? Anyway, you were misled, but cheer up, you can probably find better reading material, starting with the several answers you got here.
